changes can be logically divided into
two categories: (1) Annualized startup/
capital and operational costs associated
with CAIR affected units that are not
also affected by the ARP program and
(2) incremental operational costs for
ARP affected units that are also subject
to the CAIR program. The previous
2009–2011 ICR period contained a
number of one-time costs and burdens
associated with facilities/units either
transitioning into the CAIR program
from the NOX SIP Call program or
facilities/units previously affected by
ARP that were required to make changes
as part of CAIR. These one-time costs
and burdens were fully realized in the
2009–2011 period.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 22 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Sources subject to the CAIR program.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,077.
Frequency of response: Quarterly.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
265,292 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$40,819,163, which included
$22,539,614 in capital and O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 141,747 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This change from the previous
ICR is due to three major differences. (1)
The previous ICR included a number of
one-time transition burdens associated
with the incorporation of NOX SIP Call
sources and incremental changes for
ARP sources. Those one time burdens
were fully accounted for in the previous
ICR and are not included in the 2012–
2014 period. (2) The previous ICR also
included a State and local reporting
burden associated with annual and
triennial emissions inventory reporting.
This reporting requirement was
removed with changes to 40 CFR 51.125
published in 76 FR 48353 on August 8,
2011. (3) The overall number of
facilities slightly declined despite the
previous administrative change to
include Delaware and New Jersey.

Clean Water Act Section 303(d):
Withdrawal of Nine Total Maximum
Daily Loads (TMDLs)
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of Withdrawal of Nine
TMDLs.
AGENCY:
The EPA hereby withdraws
nine final Total Maximum Daily Loads
SUMMARY:
(TMDLs) for Chloride, Sulfate, and Total
Dissolved Solids (TDS) for the Bayou de
L’Outre Watershed in Arkansas. The
EPA withdraws the Bayou de L’Outre
TMDLs due to the discovery of
inconsistencies in the values used to
derive the flow and load duration
curves, resulting in the calculation of
TMDLs which do not accurately reflect
the loading capacity of the segments.
This action does not affect seven other
final TMDLs published under the same
Federal Register notice (see 76 FR
52947) which pertain to segments
08040203–010, 08040204–006, and
08040206–015, –016, –716, –816, –916.
The Agency hereby withdraws the final
TMDLs pertaining to segments
08040202–006, –007, and –008 with
respect to Chlorides, Sulfates and TDS.
Public Participation: EPA received
five comment letters from
representatives of Clean Harbors
Environmental Services, Clean Harbors
Environmental Services—El Dorado, El
Dorado Water Utility, Great Lakes
Chemical Corporation—Chemtura, and
Lion Oil Company in support of the
withdrawal of nine TMDLs pertaining to
Bayou de L’Outre. The Agency did not
receive any adverse comments relating
to the withdrawal action.
The
TMDLs were developed under EPA
Contract Number 68–C–02–108. The
Federal Register notice of availability,
seeking public comments on the draft
TMDLs, was published on December 17,
2007 (see 72 FR 71409). Public
comments were received by January 16,
2008, and a response to each comment
was provided. The Federal Register
notice of availability for the final
TMDLs was published on August 24,
2011 (see 76 FR 52947). The nine
pollutant pairs for Bayou de L’Outre
subject to withdrawal are as follows.
